Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food processing equipment technology, and in particular to a high-efficiency and energy-saving integrated food drying and sterilization device. Background Technology
[0002] Drying removes excess moisture from food, extending its shelf life, preserving its flavor and nutrition, and facilitating storage and transportation. Drying also reduces the environment for microbial growth, effectively preventing spoilage and extending shelf life. Furthermore, dried food is smaller and lighter, making it easier to package, store, and transport over long distances, reducing logistics costs and increasing its commercial value. Current food drying processes typically involve laying out drying trays in an oven, where hot air from the oven dries the food.
[0003] Traditional food drying ovens have fixed drying trays, which prevent the food from being turned over or stirred. This results in uneven drying of food at different depths in the trays, and food from the lower layers of the trays tends to stick to the surface and is difficult to clean. Utility Model Content
[0004] This disclosure relates to a high-efficiency and energy-saving integrated food drying and sterilization device, which solves the problem that the drying tray structure in traditional food drying ovens is fixed, and the food in the drying tray cannot be turned over or stirred, resulting in different drying effects for food at different depths in the drying tray, uneven drying of the food, and food in the lower layer of the drying tray sticking to the surface of the drying tray and being difficult to clean.
[0005] In a first aspect, this disclosure provides a high-efficiency and energy-saving integrated food drying and sterilization device, specifically comprising: a drying cabinet body, a drying cabinet door at the front of the drying cabinet body, three ultraviolet lamp strips installed on the inner surface of the drying cabinet door, a docking transmission sleeve rotatably connected to the rear partition plate inside the drying cabinet body via bearings, an outer assembly plate fixedly connected to the rear of the drying cabinet body, a rotary drive component connected to the rear of the outer assembly plate via screws, the rotating shaft of the rotary drive component being fixedly connected to the rear end of the support shaft of the docking transmission sleeve located on the left end, three unit drying boxes movably connected inside the drying cabinet body, a rotating drying cylinder rotatably installed inside the unit drying box, a transmission plug fixedly connected to the rear end of the rotating drying cylinder, and the transmission plug connecting to the front end of the docking transmission sleeve.
[0006] In at least some embodiments, three inner wall guide rails are fixedly connected to the left and right walls of the main body of the drying cabinet.
[0007] In at least some embodiments, the front end of the docking transmission sleeve is fixedly connected to a transmission port, the transmission port is a hexagonal prism structure groove, and the transmission block is a hexagonal pyramid structure, with the transmission block movably inserted into the transmission port.
[0008] In at least some embodiments, a linkage sprocket is fixedly connected to the support shaft of the docking transmission sleeve, and the linkage sprockets of the laterally adjacent docking transmission sleeves are connected by a chain.
[0009] In at least some embodiments, a drying box side insert is fixedly connected to each of the two sides of the unit drying box, and a drying box through slot is opened through the top and bottom walls of the unit drying box, and a front insert cylinder opening is opened at the front of the unit drying box.
[0010] In at least some embodiments, a rear insertion port is provided at the rear of the unit drying box, the front insertion port and the rear insertion port are coaxial, and a central partition plate is fixedly connected inside the unit drying box.
[0011] In at least some embodiments, the rotary drying cylinder is a cylindrical component manufactured from a mesh plate, and stripes for flowing out of the drying cylinder are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the rotary drying cylinder.
[0012] This utility model provides a high-efficiency and energy-saving integrated food drying and sterilization device, which has the following beneficial effects:
[0013] The food dryer of this utility model has ultraviolet light strips installed on the inner surface of the drying cabinet door. The ultraviolet rays emitted by the ultraviolet light strips irradiate the food inside the rotating drying drum, disinfecting the food. This allows the food to be disinfected while it is being dried, thus combining drying and disinfection, which improves food processing efficiency.
[0014] Furthermore, in the food dryer of this utility model, when the food is placed inside the rotary drying drum, the rotary drying drum is driven to rotate by the cooperation of the rotary drive component and the docking transmission sleeve. This causes the food to tumble and turn over as the rotary drying drum slowly rotates, which can prevent clumping and sticking during the drying process and further improve the drying efficiency and uniformity of the food in the rotary drying drum.
[0015] In addition, it is equipped with multi-layer unit drying boxes. During the process of loading and unloading food into the rotating drying drum, the rotating drying drum can be pulled forward and removed. During the removal of the unit drying box, the transmission block and the transmission port automatically separate, which facilitates the loading and unloading of food and also makes it easier to clean the unit drying box and the rotating drying drum. When the unit drying box is reinstalled into the main body of the drying cabinet, the transmission block can automatically engage with the transmission port as the unit drying box moves backward to realize the transmission of torque. The installation and disassembly are convenient, and the use of the drying device is more convenient. Attached Figure Description

[0028] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. Based on the described embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0029] Example 1: Please refer to Figures 1 to 7 :
[0030] This utility model proposes a high-efficiency and energy-saving integrated food drying and sterilization device, comprising: a drying cabinet body 1, a drying cabinet door 2 at the front of the drying cabinet body 1, three ultraviolet lamp strips 201 installed on the inner surface of the drying cabinet door 2, a docking transmission sleeve 3 rotatably connected to the rear partition 102 inside the drying cabinet body 1 via bearings, an outer assembly plate 103 fixedly connected to the rear of the drying cabinet body 1, a rotary drive component 4 connected to the rear of the outer assembly plate 103 via screws, and the rotating shaft of the rotary drive component 4 fixedly connected to the rear end of the support shaft of the docking transmission sleeve 3 located at the left end of the drying cabinet. The main body 1 has three unit drying chambers 5 connected internally. A rotary drying cylinder 6 is rotatably installed inside the unit drying chamber 5. A transmission block 602 is fixedly connected to the rear end of the rotary drying cylinder 6. The transmission block 602 is connected to the front end of the docking transmission sleeve 3. During the operation of the food drying device, hot air is generated inside the drying chamber 1. At the same time, the hot air passes vertically through the unit drying chambers 5 and the rotary drying cylinder 6 to dry the food inside the rotary drying cylinder 6. At the same time, the food inside the rotary drying cylinder 6 is disinfected by irradiation with ultraviolet lamp strip 201, so that disinfection and drying are carried out simultaneously.
[0031] In this embodiment, three inner wall guide rails 101 are fixedly connected to the left and right walls of the drying cabinet body 1, and a drying box side insert 501 is fixedly connected to each side of the unit drying box 5. The drying box side insert 501 is slidably connected to the inner wall guide rails 101 to realize the installation of the unit drying box 5.
[0032] In this embodiment, the front end of the connecting transmission sleeve 3 is fixedly connected to a transmission port 301. The transmission port 301 is a hexagonal prism structure groove, and the transmission block 602 is a hexagonal pyramid structure. The transmission block 602 is movably inserted into the transmission port 301. During the process of loading and unloading food into the rotary drying cylinder 6, the rotary drying cylinder 6 can be pulled forward and removed. During the process of removing the unit drying box 5, the transmission block 602 automatically separates from the transmission port 301, which facilitates the loading and unloading of food and also facilitates the cleaning of the unit drying box 5 and the rotary drying cylinder 6. When the unit drying box 5 is reinstalled into the drying cabinet body 1, the transmission block 602 can automatically insert into the transmission port 301 as the unit drying box 5 moves backward, thereby realizing the transmission of torque.
[0033] In this embodiment, a linkage sprocket 302 is fixedly connected to the support shaft of the docking transmission sleeve 3. The linkage sprockets 302 of the laterally adjacent docking transmission sleeves 3 are connected by a chain to realize the synchronous rotation of all docking transmission sleeves 3. The same rotary drive component 4 drives multiple docking transmission sleeves 3 in the same row to rotate at the same speed and in the same direction.
[0034] In Example 2, based on Example 1, the top and bottom walls of the unit drying oven 5 are both provided with drying oven through slots 502. A front insertion port 503 is provided at the front of the unit drying oven 5, and a rear insertion port 504 is provided at the rear of the unit drying oven 5. The front insertion port 503 and the rear insertion port 504 are coaxial. A central partition plate 505 is fixedly connected inside the unit drying oven 5. The rotary drying cylinder 6 is a cylindrical component formed by processing a grid plate. Stripes 601 for flowing out of the drying cylinder are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the rotary drying cylinder 6. Food is placed inside the rotary drying cylinder 6. The rotary driving component 4 and the docking transmission sleeve 3 drive the rotary drying cylinder 6 to rotate, so that the food is tumbled and turned over with the slow rotation of the rotary drying cylinder 6 and collides with the stripes 601 inside the drying cylinder. This can avoid clumping and sticking during the drying process, and further improve the drying efficiency and uniformity of the food in the rotary drying cylinder 6.
[0035] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: First, open the drying cabinet door 2, take out the unit drying box 5 and pull it out vertically forward. Place the food to be dried inside the rotating drying drum 6. Insert the unit drying box 5 straight back into the drying cabinet body 1, so that the side strip 501 of the drying box slides and connects with the inner wall guide rail 101, keeping the distance between adjacent unit drying boxes 5 equal. Close the drying cabinet door 2, and turn on the drying cabinet body 1, ultraviolet lamp strip 201 and rotary drive 4. Hot air is generated inside the drying cabinet body 1 and passes vertically through the unit drying box 5 and the rotating drying drum 6 to dry the food inside the rotating drying drum 6. At the same time, the ultraviolet lamp strip 201 irradiates and disinfects the food inside the rotating drying drum 6. Meanwhile, the rotary drive 4 drives the docking transmission sleeve 3 to rotate, and the docking transmission sleeve 3 drives the rotating drying drum 6 to rotate slowly. The food is turned over and tumbled as the rotating drying drum 6 rotates slowly, and collides with the strips 601 inside the drying drum. This can prevent clumping and sticking during the drying process and improve the drying efficiency of the food in the rotating drying drum 6.
